Belize Real Estate
Ever wanted to own your own Island or maybe a beautiful home in a culturally rich and warm climate that is not overpopulated? Then the country of Belize is your answer. Nestled on the Caribbean coast of Central America, this small sovereign nation is ripe in culture, warm year-round in climate and prime in beautiful tropical Belize real estate.
Ideal for United States citizens, since their official language is English, you can visit, buy a permanent or retirement retreat. Until 1981, Belize was a colony under the control of the British Empire, when at that time the country declared its independence and became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Foreigners have found it an easy task to buy Belize real estate. Especially since their laws are quite similar to the United States, and real estate laws are based on English law. The process is quite the same, find a piece of Belize real estate you desire, then, hire a real estate agent and a lawyer to execute the necessary paperwork, the same as in the United States.
If you have a desire to purchase a private island as well, there are more than a few within the Belize real estate territory. If coconut groves, gorgeous sandy beaches and 19 acres of solitude is your idea of island life, you can find it here. This piece of elegant Belize real estate will set you back about $2.5 million US Dollars. Of course if that figure is a little out of your range, there are smaller island choices on the Belize real estate market under half a million US dollars.
Once you have purchased your dream home (or island) you can cruise over to one of Belize’s major national attractions, the Great Blue Hole, an underwater sinkhole located just off the coast. Thousands of explorers, swimmers, and divers visit this national landmark every year. Jacques Coustea, the famous underwater explorer, brought this attraction to international fame in 1971, when he explored it in his ship, the Calypso. The gorgeous area surrounding the Great Blue Hole is known as the Belize Barrier Reef, this location is a top tourist attraction and accounts for more than half of Belize’s annual visitors. Because it is part of the National Park, there are no Belize real estate parcels in close proximity.
The diverse culture of Belize includes the Mayans, from as early as 1000 AD, the 1800s saw many Mexican and Spanish settlers arrive, veterans of the US Civil War came here in the late 1860s, Asians (from the 1900′s) Central American immigrants (from the mid 1900s) as well as recent immigrants from the world over looking to own a piece of Belize real estate. The country has become, ‘the Melting Pot’ of central America, as practically every ethnicity is represented there.
